Count former Cleveland Browns All-Pro left tackle Joe Thomas among those surprised by the Indianapolis Colts’ decision to hire Jeff Saturday as their interim head coach.
Speaking Friday on NFL Network, Thomas did not hold back on the matter, saying:
“When you hire your drinking buddy to be the head coach of an NFL football team, it is one of the most disrespectful things I’ve ever seen in my entire life to the commitment, the lifestyle, and the experience that it takes to be an NFL coach – any coach – much less the head coach of the Indianapolis Football Colts,” said Thomas.
